702 5/2A/39. SECRET. November, 1931* 1 3 NOV 7933 24.10.39_. Dear Hope, The enclosed telegram which we have received from the Governor of Fiji about the possible reinforcement of >'iji from New Zealand is, 1 think, self explanatory. It has been discussed -sith the Dominions Office, and, as a result of that discussion, we propose to send a reply to the Governor on the lines of the annexed draft* Would you be so good as to let me know whether the War Office concur in its terms ? 1 have not thought it necessary to consult the other Service Departments - may 1 take it that you will do so, if you think it desirable, before replying to this letter? 1 am sending copies of this letter and its enclosures to Jacob* Yours sincerely, MAJOR It.W. HOPK, R.A.
